STOCKHOLM (AP) — Six Nordic national soccer **** ociations piled more pressure on embattled FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Sunday by saying they had "lost confidence" in his leadership.
The **** ociations from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands issued a joint statement to say they "view the organization's governance and decision-making at the highest level with great concern."
The **** ociations said they stand united with European soccer governing body UEFA and support the measures it has already proposed.
"We expect FIFA to provide binding guarantees that the organization's governance or competitions will never again be opened up to private ownership," the **** ociations said.
Infantino faces pressure to resign after his plans to sell future World Cup profits to private investors triggered a backlash and criticism from UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and CONCACAF, the governing body for North and Central American and Caribbean soccer.
